trump mentioned orlando. again, someone who was an american. this continuing to fear monger against refugees and immigrants in general is just an unfortuna unfortunate, consistent though, thing the trump administration keeps doing. it s up to us to fact check them every step of the way and stop this. here is the biggest concern, ron. conway is in charge of messaging at the trump white house. is this the kind of messaging we should just come to expect? well, alternative facts i think told you a lot of what you need to know. look, people understand i don t think anybody like i said, i can t imagine that you would go on and think you d get away with creating a massacre that didn t exist. there was something in her head that she thought she was referring to. it got obscured by the fact that hillary clinton faced such enormous doubts about hon stri and trustworthiness. almost as many people have
conway was talking alternative facts and boy she took it to a whole new level. defending trump s travel ban by citing the bowling green massacre. these are very narrowly and also temporary. i bet it s very little coverage and brand new information to people that president obama had a six month ban on the iraqi refugee program after two iraqi s came here to this country and were radicalized and behind the bowling green massacre. it didn t get covered. it didn t get covered because it did not happen. let s bring in cnn senior political analyst and senior editor of the atlantic and cnn political commentator and senior columnist at the daily beast. matt lewis. well, first of all, there was no ban, okay? you can argue that as a question of political semantics and what

mastermind behind the bowling green massacre. let s talk about the administration overseas and here as well. to irrad kat islam, how does gettinger rad kating islamic terrorism how did we achieve that goal by restricting that goal is much broader. this was a centerpiece how do they connect. they connect in this way, you cannot look at what happens in orlando, in nice, germany, brus sells say things happen. this man ran on stronger and
on those two issues did the right thing. but let s do it with deliberation. let s not do it with tweets. let s do it with our diplomats, with the state department. let s take a lot of this power out of the white house and put it in the hands of individuals that know what they re doing, the professionals at the state department. former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., former governor bill richardson. thank you for joining pe. that brings us to today s microsoft pulse question. do you think sanctions are an appropriate punishment for iran s missile test? tell us your thoughts at pulse.msnbc.com. we ll check in with your results later in the hour. also making headlines today, kellyanne conway in an interview with my colleague, chris matthew, the counselor to the president defended trump s executive order banning travel for majority-muslim countries by invoking a terror attack, she called the bowling green massacre. i bet there was very little coverage. i bet i bet it s brand-new
